"5N1K" program on Turkey's CNN Turk television covered the story of
21-year-old Narine Lazarian, who had gone from Armenia to Istanbul
with her stepfather and half-brother, and who was sexually blackmailed
by two Turkish brothers and subsequently had committed suicide.
The program's special guest was Istanbul's Agos Armenian bilingual
weekly's reporter Lilit Gasparyan, who wrote about Narine's suicide.
Gasparyan noted that it was after when she covered Narine's suicide
story that virtually all Turkish media began reflecting on this
incident.
In Lilit Gasparyan's words, it was only after when Agos informed about
this story that the brothers who caused Narine to commit suicide were
arrested.
"This was an example of the difficulties and loneliness of the
immigrants [in Turkey], and how women are subjected to violence every
day," Agos' reporter stated.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, the two Turkish brothers,
who caused Armenian citizen Narine Lazarian to commit suicide in
Istanbul, are taken into custody.
The arrestee Orhan Okumus noted that he was considering marrying
Narine, and he had gone to bed with her several times, Agos informs.
Orhan claimed that Narine had told him she was raped by her
stepfather, and, after hearing this, he refused to marry Narine.
"I told Narine that I don't want to marry her. She committed suicide
several days thereafter," Orhan said, and claimed he had not taken
naked pictures of Narine in secret and had not blackmailed her.
Narine's brother Zhora informed that Narine was in love with Orhan,
but the latter was cheating on her. After having sex with Narine,
Orhan somehow managed to take naked pictures of her, Agos informed.
Then, Orhan's brother Baris tried to persuade her to live together by
blackmailing her with the photographs. But having been refused, he
showed the pictures to Narine's brother. As a result, Narine and her
brother started arguing, and Zhora slapped her in the face.
Orhan and his brother started blackmailing Narine, demanding money and
threatening to post her naked pictures on the Internet. And being
unable to cope with this situation, the girl ultimately committed
suicide.
Narine's stepfather discovered her body, but they did not report this
to the police, since they were staying in Turkey illegally.
Having been informed about Narine's death, her mother went to Turkey,
and she reported the incident to the police.
